Japan instructs TEPCO to produce decommissioning road map

Tokyo Electric Power must create a road map for decommission four Fukushima Daiichi reactors, the Japanese government said. The removal of fuel rods in used-fuel pools should begin within two years, and melted fuel in reactors should be removed within a decade, said Goshi Hosono, the Japanese minister handling the incident. "Full-scale government's involvement will be necessary in the decommission process," Hosono said.
